We're underway on a chilly evening in Russia and it's Chelsea that get things started on the artificial pitch.

16.56
The teams are out at the Luzhniki Stadium (where there's plenty of empty seats) and it's almost time for kick-off. Enjoy the first half!

16.54
Not long now until we get underway in Moscow. Thanks for all your pre-match comments - keep your feedback coming at the break.

16.51
Rafa Benitez has done well with his team selection tonight, according to Chris Jolly - "Rafa has definitely made the right team selection as the Europa League is the lowest priority for the club this season. PL first and FA Cup second. A strong bench means he can bring on game winners if he needs them!"

16.47@kelvinediale tweeted - "I see Chelsea coming through this one easily, hope Nathan Ake takes his opportunity well today."

16.46Tom Reading feels Kazan's move to the Moscow venue could work in Chelsea's favour - "I see a comfortable Chelsea win here. Mata Oscar and Hazard on the bench will come on second half. The game is at a neutral venue witch will be almost empty. A training exercise for the champions of Europe."

16.44
You can back Torres for a brace at 12/1 with Sky Bet Chris, while he's 2/1 to score in the 90 minutes. Chelsea are 7/4 for a win this evening and 1/9 to qualify. Head over to www.skybet.com for all markets.

16.43Chris Green feels Chelsea have to be quick off the mark - "This match will be tough for Chelsea, but I'm sure they'll make it through to the semi-finals if they score early.. My prediction: Rubin Kazen 1-2 Chelsea. Ps. What are the odds of Torres scoring a brace?"

16.34Rafee Ahmed is expecting a Chelsea upset - "Just hope Rubin Kazan do something special this match and kick Chelsea out of the competition just like in the Champions League, Rubin will give Chelsea a good game tonight, just hope it's a entertaining game...2-0 to Kazan-WHY NOT!"

16.33Aaron Tugwell isn't feeling too optimistic over Chelsea's chances of a win - "Don't see anyone winning here, if anyone, Rubin to win. Wouldnt believe I was a Chelsea supporter. Our form has been difficult to watch, but 3 wins in a row, maybe a fourth? I predict a 2-2 draw, Torres and Moses with the goals in the second half."

16.30
Captain John Terry, Frank Lampard, Victor Moses and Fernando Torres, who scored twice in the first leg, are also included against a Rubin side showing three changes from Stamford Bridge.

16.29
Looking at that Blues side, 18-year-old Dutchman Nathan Ake makes his second senior start for Chelsea at the Luzhniki Stadium, while Paulo Ferreira steps in at left-back due to the absences of Ashley Cole (hamstring) and Ryan Bertrand (illness).
